Everybody’s Dad (David Spidel)

[Verse 1]
There’s a man down in Georgia
With his name on every sign
Got his boots in every backyard
Every fishin’ hole is “mine”
He’ll tell you where the birds land
Where the water runs real still
If it’s wet
He’s got a handshake
If it clucks
He’s payin’ bills
[Chorus]
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel
Owns the lakes
Owns the chicken
Owns the title
From the porch light glow to the last barstool
He’s the guy that raised half this world we knew
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel (hey!)
If you’re lost
He’s the number in your dial
Yeah
Jacob’s just the one that got his name
But we all kinda came out the same
[Verse 2]
He’s got stories ‘bout the big shots
Laughin’ like it ain’t a thing
Callin’ folks you see on TV
Like they’re part of his old spring
Shared a beer with Jamey Johnson
Said they talked ‘til closing time
Now every country song that comes on
He says
“Boy
That friend of mine” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel
Owns the lakes
Owns the chicken
Owns the title
From the porch light glow to the last barstool
He’s the guy that raised half this world we knew
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel (c’mon!)
If you’re hurt
He’s the number in your dial
Yeah
Jacob’s just the one that got his name
But we all kinda came out the same
[Bridge]
Need a truck
Need a laugh
Need bail?
There’s one name that never goes to voicemail
In this messed up
Mixed up clan of ours
He’s the sun
We’re just the scattered stars
[Chorus]
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel
Owns the lakes
Owns the chicken
Owns the title
From a house full of kids to a crowded room
There’s a chair with your name
There’s always room
He’s everybody’s dad
David Spidel (yeah!)
If you call
He’ll pick up with a smile
Yeah
Jacob’s just the one that got his name
But we’re all his kids just the same

Laid-back country-rock with a wink: mid-tempo groove, twangy electric guitars and warm acoustic strums, brushed snare and a lazy hi‑hat shuffle. Male vocals with a storyteller drawl, stacked gang vocals on the hook for a barroom-singalong feel. Subtle Hammond pad in the chorus, simple bass line that walks around the chords. Final chorus gets extra harmonies and a slight tempo push for a big, rowdy finish.
